This blog is primarily meant to give me (and maybe others?) the feel-goods. I like to give pause and notice strange sights, small details, and pretty things. I’ve decided that I don’t necessarily want to be tied down to three predetermined posts a week. While I enjoy all the content I’ve been creating, I think I’d like to try something simpler. Previously when I blogged, I often posted all photos. I think I’d like to go back to that – at least for now. It’s likely (but not guaranteed) that I’ll begin posting more frequently. I’ll include snapshots of my life – little things that make me feel inspired or cozy or just generally happy.

I heard Dexy’s Midnight Runners on the radio yesterday and decided to trash the playlist I had originally comprised for today. Why? Because I neeeeeeded to make a playlist full of my favorite 80s dance jams. “Come on Eileen” always makes me hungry for more 80s music. Plus, the city I hail from has a kick-ass 80s night every Friday and I’m homesick for it.

Good ol’ Punxsutawney Phil really failed me. Six more long weeks of winter. I know that I was wishfully posting about spring dresses just a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like it will be a long time before I wear anything less than three layers. Around a foot of snow was dumped on my tiny town today, so in the spirit of a winter that refuses to die, I give you my favorite snow day essentials:

There are, of course, other important snow day essentials for time spent indoors. For me, those are baked goods and Netflix, so today I concocted a batch of brownies and watched multiple episodes of Breaking Bad. Hey, not every day can be super productive, right?

I don’t think this particular pizza necessitates a recipe. Throw your favorite pizza sauce and cheese on top of a rolled pizza crust, cover the top of the pizza with caramelized onions and goat cheese. This is one of my favorite pizza flavor combinations.
